Never miss a local story.

Olympia police were dispatched to an Ensign Road address in September 2009 after a report of a disturbance. A 61-year-old woman had been stabbed in the throat and torso and had suffered blunt-force trauma to the head. She told police “Trent” was responsible.

An investigating Olympia police detective spoke to King’s mother, and she told him her son was schizophrenic and mentally unstable.

Police arrested King at his Lewis County home after discovering blood on the steering wheel of his vehicle and noticing that he had a cut finger and blood on his sweatpants.
